摘要
LiFePO4(LFP)-coated sulfur (S-LFP) particles were synthesized using a dry mechano-fusion method and electrochemically tested in a liquid electrolyte. This synthesis process (encapsulation) is completed in a few minutes without a solvent drying step, thus it is easily scalable for volume production. The S-LFP cathode showed an initial capacity of 1200 mAh/g at 0.1 C, and 80% capacity retention after 90 cycles at 0.5 C.417 Wh/kg in specific energy and 623 Wh/I in energy density are achievable with this new technology. The results suggest that the LFP layer enhances the utilization of active sulfur and lowers the polarization for oxidation of Li2S2/Li2S, (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
